[QUOTE="Wulf Ratbane, post: 593871, member: 94"] Wow. I had no idea. For the record, I make the same amount off of every book, regardless of what the end users (you folks) pay for it. Technically, my customer is the distributor, and my price to them is always the same. (Again, technically, it can vary if the book skips the "distributor" tier and goes direct to the retailer, as it does in the case of Amazon or Waldenbooks, and as it probably does in the case of Wal-Mart). All things being even, I would much rather support the FLGS. Unless and until Wal-Mart also stocks paints, miniatures, battle mats, and lets me and my buds hang out in the garden department and play D&D on their picnic tables all day. On the other hand, I also happen to be a gamer in addition to a publisher. I understand the lure of lower prices, and on top of that I hate not seeing the product I want in stock. Now, speaking again as a publisher here, I can't fault a customer for purchasing from Amazon, Waldenbooks, or even Wal-Mart if the retailer doesn't have the good sense to stock my products. End result: Support your local game store whenever possible. Ask them to please carry Bad Axe products. ;) Wulf [/QUOTE]
